There are far too many incredibly entertaining moments in Guardians of the Galaxy to list here, but certainly one that tops the list is what could be called the mid-credits sequence. Featuring no dialogue, the scene is set in the belly of Star-Lord's ship The Milano and finds potted baby Groot sitting on a table next to Drax, who is focusing on cleaning one of his daggers. The sound of the insanely catchy "I Want You Back" by The Jackson 5 is piped in, and slowly but surely baby Groot starts to dance. It's a moment that makes you both laugh and go "aww," and now you can watch it over and over until the end of time. Marvel Studios and Disney have officially released the clip of dancing Groot fromGuardians of the Galaxy. As you probably noticed watching the video in the embed above, the scene only runs about 39 seconds long, but the good news is that Yahoo!also posted the huge gif you see below. Just start playing the song and start staring at it for a few minutes. I guarantee that it will lighten your day: In this scene, Groot is recovering after having been shattered into a million pieces trying to save his Guardians of the Galaxy feam-mates, but it looks like getting the chance to grow up again isn't doing much to disturb his generally sunny disposition. The even better news is that it probably won't be long until Groot grows to his full size - his regenerative powers are off the charts - and he will once again be at full power to help protect his heroic brothers and sister and fight against any and all threats against the cosmos. If you want to see the other end credits sequence that everybody has been talking about, you'll have to go see Guardians of the Galaxy in theaters. The movie is continuing to do big business both domestically and aboard, so far bringing in $330 million internationally. This weekend it will not only be contending with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but also newcomers The Expendables 3, Let's Be Cops and more. What will you be seeing?

Godzilla 2 Now Has A Release Date

<a href="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news_img/66772/Godzilla_2_66772.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news_img/66772/Godzilla_2_66772.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
In 2018, you and I will be different people. Maybe we'll lose weight on a vegetarian diet. Maybe we'll get married and buy a brownstone. Maybe our independent business will crash and we'll have to seek work somewhere else. These are all maybes, but there is one definite: we'll be getting a Godzilla 2.  
 Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have announced that Godzilla 2 will open in theaters on June 4th, 2018. That's a full four years after the first film, a considerably impressive turnaround considering director Gareth Edwards (who is still attached) is currently working on a Star Wars spinoff written by Gary Whitta, likely slated for release in 2016. That must be a one-time deal, because after his visit to Tattoine or Naboo or wherever, Legendary expects him to jump back in the saddle for this follow-up. Godzilla, how do you feel about this moment?  Godzilla generated $507 million in worldwide box office this summer, which is a solid number for a movie that cost $160 million. However, it actually sold many less tickets than 1998's loathed Godzilla, and there was some fan backlash over the film's decision to hide the creature from the beginning of the film on. Many were passionate in their love for the film, but it's not as if the WB is answering the cries of a desperate fanbase. The only reason they're making a sequel is because they feel they can outdo the previous film, and because they want to be in the Gareth Edwards business.  Obviously, June 4th is currently an empty date, as Godzilla 2 becomes the first live-action film to colonize June 2018. A week later, Pixar has a slot ready to deploy a film, which will be followed two weeks later by a Fox Animation feature. Amazing Spider-Man 3 still doesn't have a landing spot, so it could easily pop up in June as well, but as of now, it's early.  
 
Godzilla 2 is expected to be a monster mash, with the scaly legend doing battle with (or teaming up with) Ghidorah, Mothra and Rodan, making this something of an update of Destroy All Monsters, or possibly Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster, where Godzilla teamed up with the other two to take on the tri-skulled baddie. Edwards is also attached to a Godzilla 3, but perhaps Warner Bros. and Legendary might want to slow their roll.

Fifty Shades Of Grey Star Jamie Dornan May Play King Arthur

2016's King Arthur is taking shape under the leadership of director Guy Ritchie. It's the first of multiple films in a proposed trilogy, so for the lead role, they'll need someone strong, masculine, and compelling - someone who audiences will want to see again and again. So how about someone kinky as well? 
 The Sun (via The Daily Mail) is claiming that Jamie Dornan is Guy Ritchie's top choice to star as the titular character King Arthur. You don't know Dornan yet, though he's about to blow up as the star of Fifty Shades Of Grey. As the extremely handsome and wealthy BDSM playboy Christian Grey, Dornan is Universal's choice to steam up screens for the next couple of years in a Fifty Shades Of Grey series. Would that be a problem if he's going to be doing multiple King Arthur adventures as well? (that's a bigif.) Sources claims that interest in the role between the Warner Bros. and Dornan is mutual, with the actor eager to diversify - lest he become Christian Grey forever. But Universal might feel that King Arthur could overshadow Dornan's interests and priorities, sinceFifty Shades Of Grey is the sort of contract one might seek to escape. If reports are to be believed, the studios are hammering out some sort of agreement, but Warner Bros. doesn't want to commit just yet and Universal is reluctant to part with him. 50 Shades of Grey has both career-defining and career-destroying potential for everyone involved. On the page, the character has generated his own share of controversy. Fans find Grey's masculinity powerful, and his overwhelming, all-encompassing seduction of Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson in the movie) to be a show of old-school masculinity and a mastery of power dynamics. Detractors believe he's a sadistic, manipulative creep who doesn't take mutual consent seriously. Of course, Dornan doesn't have to worry about those who hate the character already: it's the superfans who are demanding 100% fidelity to the source, and who will be let down by anyone who isn't the dream man of their fantasies. Or maybe we're all lying about this and we're hate-watching this movie just as we've hate-read the books. They are really terrible. It's a little early to say whether Jamie Dornan is suited to play King Arthur, but he's young enough to grow into the role and assume his title in a multi-film franchise. Universal is gambling several millions into the belief that audiences will respond to Dornan. But, being a major adventure movie tentpole, Warner Bros. would be gambling HUNDREDS of millions on Dornan's appeal. That's the thing about sequels then and now. Back then, you could recast and keep going. Today, continuity is going to force you to stick with the leading man you've cast. Could that be Dornan? King Arthur, with or without the 50 Shades of Grey star, hits theaters July 22nd, 2016.

The Rock Making Two More Journey To The Center Of The Earth Sequels

Warner Bros. seems pretty serious about being in the Dwayne Johnson business. The rumors continue to circulate that he's getting involved in the world of DC with Shazam, but he's already attached to a WB franchise. A couple of years ago, he assumed the lead role in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, bogarting the franchise from Brendan Fraser. Now the studio's interested in making another Journey, but they're going to have to adjust course: it looks like it's going to be TWO more Journeys. The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Chad and Cary Hayes have been hired to write the third and fourth installments in the Journey series. The Hayes siblings recently earned their reputation from penning The Conjuring. Surely Johnson noticed, as he is starring in their most recent script, San Andreas 3D. The hiring of the Hayes siblings suggests an effort to appeal to Johnson more directly, particularly considering two more movies (apparently being shot back-to-back) is a major commitment for the busy superstar. It also means goodbye to another writing team, Brian and Mark Gunn, who wrote the second film and were previously enlisted to pen part three. What is up with this franchise and brothers? Journey 2: The Mysterious Island was a surprise hit in 2012, grossing $335 million worldwide. That was higher than the $241 million brought in by the Johnson-lessJourney To The Center Of The Earth, which starred Brendan Fraser. Fraser was playing the uncle to Josh Hutcherson's character, while Johnson was the new stepfather – given that Hutcherson will be back for his third go-round, maybe Fraser, who has been out of the spotlight, can return? Surely that would excite someone, right? These movies are pretty popular, but people aren't exactly running around quoting lines of dialogue from the "saga." It's believed that Brad Peyton would return from directing the second one, particularly considering Peyton is also currently directing San Andreas 3D. Johnson's a hard man to lock up, particularly considering several of the franchises of which he's involved are in flux. Technically he's set to return for G.I. Joe 3, but that remains in the development stage. And there hasn't been a word about spinning off his character from the Fast And Furious movies, despite that being a hot rumor awhile back. THR also reports that he's attached to Seal Team 666, again with the Hayes brothers writing. It might be the case that whomever finishes a script first is going to get him onboard. You're on the clock, Hayes brothers.

Jackie Chan Explains Why He Turned Down Expendables 2 And 3

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news_img/66795/jackie_chan_66795.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news_img/66795/jackie_chan_66795.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
On the list of "shoulda-been-Expendables," Jackie Chan ranks pretty highly. He's one of the more highly-decorated members of the Action Hero Hall Of Fame, and he's done movies with several of the people in The Expendables 3, including Sylvester Stallone (Burn, Hollywood Burn: An Alan Smithee Film), Arnold Schwarzenegger (Around The World In 80 Days) and Jet Li (Forbidden Kingdom). So why hasn't he got the call to show up in any of the movies in the trilogy? Perhaps the better question is, why hasn't he answered the call? In an interview with Den Of Geek, Chan claims that while he's obviously being sought for Expendables 4, he's simply not a fan of the format of these films. "...this morning I did hear - the office called - Sly [Stallone] wants me for Expendables 4. I said, ‘Okay.’ Because they already asked me to be in two and three, but I refused. Well, I didn’t refuse, but I said, ‘Sly, can’t we just do you and me? Not just a bunch of people and me only coming out for five minutes.’ Because then the audience is, ‘Oh!’ And then I’m gone." These movies so far have been overstuffed to the point of parody. The latest film tries to find space for two full Expendables teams, reducing Jet Li to a tiny cameo and four spoken lines, and he doesn't even throw any kicks. And Wesley Snipes seems like a selling point for the new movie, but after a major break-in that frees him, he and the rest of the Expendables are (temporarily!) fired and replaced by the new crew. It's gimmicky because every new actor gets a big introductory scene, and we're supposed to act like its an event because its a certain actor, not because it's an interesting character or because something exciting will happen. Stallone and Chan are reportedly good buddies, to the point where even in the nineties he was trying to get the star to come to America for Demolition Man. Chan has been reluctant, not only because of the quality of the roles and the inadequacy of the American stunt teams, but because it's a very big commitment for him to leave home. He's already talked about how the Rush Hour films were a chore and he's gone on record having difficulty with English. Chan's a fairly reserved, personal guy, and in a foreign land, speaking a foreign tongue, certain personalities can feel alienated. Chan also mentions that he's been talking to people about Shanghai Dawn, the sequel to Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights – at least that film would involve him doing some martial arts and having a good time. From what I hear, The Expendables sets are pretty basic, serious, low-key affairs where everyone keeps to themselves, particularly all the supposedly "bigger" personalities. Maybe they should just let Chan direct an Expendables 4 with a much smaller cast, and just please everyone?
